Description

When connecting TIBCO Spotfire Analyst to a deployment area it loads modules that are currently deployed within the deployment area but there might be a case where you see a module or a custom extension loaded into the client that is not currently part of the deployment area

This is caused if the "loadallmodules" argument is present in the Spotfire.Dxp.exe.config file . 
 

Resolution

1. Open the Spotfire.Dxp.exe.config file which can be found in either of the following location,
a. C:\Program Files (x86)\TIBCO\Spotfire\10.10.3\
b. C:\Users\<uname>\AppData\Local\TIBCO\Spotfire\10.10.3\

2. Check the arguments section in the config file. It would be as below
<arguments>
    <argument name="loadAllModules" />
</arguments>


If this argument is present in the configuration file then the client will load all the modules available in the Modules folder defined the config file. If the unwanted module/custom extension has been previously deployed and downloaded then the client will load these module(s) though they are not part of the deployment area. 

Issue/Introduction

This article explains why an Analyst client loads all the modules including any custom extensions that are not present in the deployment area
